Fellow listers-- You may be interested to know that Rootsweb is not the only place on the Net which offers a variety of mailing lists. For example, do you know about eGroups which has mailing lists for genealogy but also for non-genealogical topics of interest? If you would like to find out more about eGroups, please go to their website at: http://www.egroups.com. There is a search engine on this main page so you can find out if there is a mailing list for the topic or geographical area which interests you. You can also start your own list if you want to. And there is some linguistic and/or geographical choice on the site (ie. France, Germany, UK, Canada, US, etc.) And while I would never want to lure anyone away from the H-W-E list <g>, it might be of interest to those of you researching Huguenots in the Netherlands to know that eGroups has a mailing list called Huguenots-Holland, currently with 49 members. (By contrast, H-W-E has almost 300 subscribers.) The language used on the Huguenots-Holland list is Dutch and the list is described as one which concentrates on "Huguenot families who came to the Netherlands during the Huguenot wars." The description goes on to say that: "Anyone can join the list, but we want only serious subscribers with the intention to help each other in their family research and to share information." There is a list archives but it appears to be accessible only to list members. For further information about Huguenots-Holland, please go to either of these two pages: http://www.egroups.com/search?query=huguenots&submit=Search and/or http://www.egroups.com/group/Huguenots-Holland. By posting this information, I am not endorsing or recommending eGroups lists. I am merely letting you know that they are available if you want to make use of them. It's just another resource which may enlarge/enrich your research. I have no personal experience with any of the eGroups lists but have heard others express positive comments about them. Hope this has been of interest. Andrea
